To become our very best self, we throw everything rooted in fear and unworthiness into the fire; pride, rigidity, indifference, defensiveness. We burn our illusions, insecurities, and lack of faith. Rebirth follows the death of bleary, worn-out behaviors. From the ashes, compassion and wisdom arise.
"The world suffers more from unhappy, stifled people trying to do good than it does from those who are simply content with themselves" - Elizabeth Lesser ******
